Our boy is going to be remembered as one of the all time greatest to ever play. He's Hall of Fame bound.
Congrats on being elected to the Hall, Joe! You mean so much to this state. We were lucky to have you on the team.
As a Mets fan seeing David And now Joe in their final games man i feel like im getting old lol
Lordy bahaha that's no joke! Feel the same, I remember when they came into the league
Mauer hasn't made any decision on retirement yet so no one knows what his plans are.
Cardinals are about 2 seasons away from having that moment with Yadier Molina. Maier is a true class act. Probably won't get any MLB Hall of Fame love but definitely a Twins HOFer.
molina has had a hall of fame deserving career, he might or might not get in but i guarantee you saint louis is retiring his number.
@@seangalvin672 Yadi will go into Cardinals HOF as soon as he retires. It might take him a few tried to get into baseball HOF but I think that he'll go in eventually.
MIN couldn't have asked for a classier guy to represent Twins baseball a hell of a player. I wish he won a WS i still think Joe should come back for a few more years. i haven't seen a guy slowing down he can still hit.
He would’ve been happy just to make it to one
You could be a fan of any team and you'd still tear up to this.
David Reyes yes
Tigers fan and I have complete respect for this man
When he came out in the catching gear, I knew his mind was made up. He just didn't want a big deal made of it. Not some farewell tour like some other players I could mention from a team whose name I shall not utter.
Tigers fan, 2 years later, never seen this, totally teared up, can confirm
I automatically love the guys who play their entire career in the same town. It’s a rare thing these days, and worthy of respect.
Class player , class guy . Played his entire career with his home town team . Great ending .
I was there and I openly cried when he showed up in his gear. ❤
Future hall of fame no doubt
I agree
You were right!🎉
What a great moment
Congratulations to the new First Ballot Hall of Famer!
One of baseball's good guys. True professional.
Joe's a class A Minnesota Twin. He's up there with the likes of Harmon Killebrew & Kirby Puckett.
He definitely is up there
So happy the hometown kid retired a hometown man. A top twin of all time and one of the most dominant catchers ever
Joe was supposed to come play QB for Florida State but I'm not even mad that he decided to play baseball instead. Great guy, great ballplayer and dedicated Twins guy. Best of luck from a lifelong Braves fan!
Yeah Joe was such an athlete he had plenty of choices ......had he decided on Football he would be playing on Sundays ....one hell of a Basketball player as well in High school . Great athlete and best of all a great role model
Joe retiring is hitting me harder than I imagined it would, I realized he was the first real athlete that I admired and got me into sports in the first place. Him retiring is like the first “who’s time flys” moment of my life. Joe has my respect for staying with this shitty team for so long, and as a twins fan I know he deserved better. #WellPlayedMauer
he hasn't made any decision on that yet so no one knows what his plans are.
@@bbgarnettTotallyNotABot When he came out in the catching gear it was obvious his mind was made up. No other reason for him to come out in the gear for only one pitch but as a symbol of his career coming full circle.
Personally I didn't like how. Mostly bc he played for the twins lol but you think he's a hof?
Mariah Ashanti yeah I’d say so, could be my bias as a twins fan, but being the catcher he was that could hit as well as he could should qualify him.
@@mlbashanti8885 he has probably the most hitting awards for a catcher in history and the gold gloves to match it on defense
Respect to Joe from a Phillies fan.
Ok?
15 when i was at this game. Grew up joe mauer being the man of my childhood. Have the original Mauer Power shirts they gave out at the field. Mauer was the perfect baseball story. Grew Up here, played for his hometown team and stayed and retired a legend of thay team. They is no better bow. Joe will never be forgotten among MN.
all of my childhood players are retiring...
THIS IS NOT OKAY
he hasn't made any decision on that yet so no one knows what his plans are.
Rushil Balkundi I know. I am getting sad
Albert is gonna be next season
Same
yeah dude i hear ya, mauer, dirk nowitzki, even my old wrestlers i used to watch are
Born here Raised here played his entire career in Minnesota! So rare that that happens. One of the greatest Catchers both defensively and his hitting in that 9 or so year stretch! More important an amazing sweet genuine man! He represented Minnesota well and gave us fans his all! That's all we can ask for! Thank you for everything Joe!!! RESPECT ⚾👍🖐
For the Twins, the only other player I can think of that did that was Herbie.
Well played Mauer :) Wish you the best, man, coming from a Royals fan.
Joe O'Malley always seemed to be rooting against him, today I root for him
In May of 2001(I forget when, exactly) some family friends of ours were visiting for my oldest brother's graduation. I was 15 at the time. Anyway, we were chatting about the Minnesota Twins as the season had just started and our friends were from the Twin Cities area and also big Twins fans. Landon, one of the sons of the friends that were visiting at the time, was a decent baseball player and was a starter for his high school team for three years. Landon's team played a lot of other big schools in and around the Twin Cities. Anyway, Landon kept telling us about this catcher from Cretin-Durham HS that had never struck out, could throw out runners at second base from his knees, had an on base percentage that was obscene, and hit a home run in seven straight games. Never mind the fact that this same kid was also getting recruited to play quarterback because he was the NUMBER ONE college football prospect for the class of 2001. Landon kept going on and on....also saying that this kid was only person to ever be the Gatorade National Player of the Year in football AND baseball. "Seriously, no one is that good", I thought, Landon was basically telling us a bunch of Paul Bunyan stories.
Landon told us about playing against this kid, his name was "Joe M-something"; he couldn't remember the guy's last name. And then it clicked, he said it was Joe Mauer, the supposed stud that the Twins had just drafted. All I knew was that this Mauer guy was a decent player, but I didn't know anything about him.
Wow, what an story
Dodgers fan here... but Joe Mauer is the one man I'd have behind the plate all the time. Gets me teary eyed knowing he's a first ballot of HOFer
Thanks Joe: you are a class act and a great Minnesotan! Glad we had the privilege to know you. God bless.
A true champion even without a ring! What a great career and a loyal twin. He could’ve played football or baseball but chose his passion and excelled.
Great player, great man. Coming from an Astro fan: Good luck on you Mauer. You're a legend
Man, I'm a die hard Yankee fan but even seeing this guy say his goodbyes and thank you's brought tears to my eyes. Guy is dope 🙌🏻👏🏻
word for word. exactly same
We will always love you Joe hope you play one more year!!
Just retire Joe Mauer, leave on a high note and ride off into the sunset as a Minnesota Twin!!
he deserved a WS ring i think he might do what brian McCann dd last year and go to someone for just 1 year and try to get a ring. I'm surprised he doesnt have one already
He just retired 😫
He did formally retire last week, ending a career spent only with his hometown team.
@@AEMoreira81 Just like Kent Hrbek. Both are Minnesota born and spent their entire career with the Twins. It's a shame that Joe didn't get the ring like Hrbek did.
Watching him batting, I'm thinking I'm not going to cry, then he comes out in his catchers gear and there is onions being cut. If you grow up watching baseball, you love your one team and like certain guys. You might grow up watching them. It's always sad to see them go. From a die hard yankee fan.
This guy will always be Mr. Twin. Born and raised in MN, entire career as a Twin, classic Minnesota-nice personality. Hell, he even has twin daughters.
Tell me another player that was as engrained in their team as he was. Any sport.
I'm a Mets fan but Joe m. Is the man my idol one of the greatest catchers I've watch play ⚾.. godbless you buddy great guy teammate person and father what a great role model ..
I remember joe Mauer coming in as a rookie...makes you feel kinda old and how time just flys by
Joe Mauer honestly deserves a World Series ring
Madden mobile Wizard Nobody "deserves" a ring. It has to be earned.
Well played Mauer
Never knew he was actually from Minnesota, my favorite player now
I am a Tigers fan and i love Joe Mauer
First Hrbek, now Mauer as hometown players making to the big leagues and sticking with the Twins,
Yet another Minnesota guy who never could quite develop the most crucial part of being a true hall of fame sports superstar… THE CLUTCH GENE!!!
As a Mets fan who just had to watch this with David Wright... much respect. Its tough to see the face of your team and icon retire. Best to both Mauer and Wright, baseball will miss them both!
Joe mauer... one of the classiest guys in baseball. I remember being at the rogers center watching the twins warmup, and I waved at joe not expecting anything back, but sure enough he waved back. Safe to say I flipped my shit and my day was made. From that day on joe was always one of my fav players. Much love joe
Give it one more season
They're going to have a moslem catcher next year
I know it's 4 years ago at this point, but Joe Mauer got the sendoff that most of his fellow Twins greats deserved but never got. Hrbek's final season was interrupted by the strike and eventual lockout, Puckett's career ended by illness. Mauer got to end his career on the field. Harmon Killebrew's career ended in a sad whimper of a final season in Kansas City; Tony Oliva's playing days ended as a shell of his former self, strength eradicated by injury. Of the five Twins whose numbers adorn the gates of Target Field, only Rod Carew had as strong an end to his career, and his career finished with a six-year stint in Anaheim as a California Angel. Mauer was a Twin from his first game to his last.
Thank you Joe for being such a inspiration to baseball fans, your such a great player, one of the best catcher's in baseball history. I have a bunch of posters and baseball cards of you. Thank you for being a hero. Every MLB fan will never forget you.
Sad fact that loyalty like this from a team or an individual player doesn't exist no more... any player that has done this in a by sport are legends to the team just like joe mauer ryan Howard and many others
As a Sox fan I’m proud to have seen him play live and in action twice.
Thanks for all the memories Joe we will miss you.
Signed a Tigers fan
Mauer's our guy
I'm not crying you are
Poor bastard. He had a great career but it's a damn shame that he never even won a playoff series.
Not even a playoff GAME.
@@aaronscarpa7469 No, I'm positive he at least won one game. In 06, the Twins lost the ALDS to the A's in 4 games which means he won one for sure.
In 06 the A's swept the Twins?
Cael Maslin as a twins fan I’m allowed to say it’s bc they trash
Cael Maslin no the a’s swept us 3-0
Just look at his numbers from 2006-2013
All that needs to be said
MLB Moonshots So I did as you suggested and looked up Mauer's numbers from 2006-2013. He averaged 11 homers and 70 RBI per year during that supposedly amazing stretch.
sinatra222 you also left out an MVP, 6 all star appearances, 3 gold gloves, 3 batting titles, 5 silver sluggers, and he hit .327 with over a .400 On Base percentage in 6 out of the 8 years oh and I left out that fact that he did this all as a CATCHER
MLB Moonshots Fair enough, he hit well for a catcher and his MVP season was amazing, though it was an extreme outlier in terms of power and run production. He was no Mike Piazza or Johnny Bench.
sinatra222 I can respect that
your guys conversation is how all humanity should act. god bless you both for an intelligent argument. you both were raised well.
Joe will see you this weekend for your weekend and to see your number 7 get retired can't wait
I remember John Gordon saying: "Touch 'em all Joe Mauer!"
From Boston but Mauer is my all time favorite player. Congrats Joe on a hall of fame career
One of the most underrated primes of all time
Wow... Mauer, Wright and Beltré's contract end... Sure 2018 has been a year.
don't forget pence!
And Utley
I love watching Mauer play
As a Dodger fan Joe has been a great player for the twins his career will leave a big footprint on the sport he deserves a Jersey retirement
And A statue on the Plaza outside Target Field ! Can't wait to get some pictures with my grandkids on that statue .
There is not crying in baseball. BS I just wiped couple of tears
CARLOS CASTILLO you’re a real piece of garbage.
Yep , tears are in my eyes . A Hometoiwn legend Mr Joe Mauer
I'm in tears!💕💕💕
I'm glad to be a Twins fan and I'm also glad that I grew up watching you play some ball.
Respect ✊🏻
I love how the he turns to the White Sox dugout and apologize for all the breaks. Classy player!
So many greats are leaving this year...
How did anyone dislike this video??? Not a twins fan(NYY forever) but that was awesome. Professional player and great send off.
True pro. A generation of Minnesota ballplayers had the absolute best to look up to. Guy never left when he could have and he probably never even had a parking ticket.
Joe Mauer forever a Minnesota Twins player I the heart of all who loved this guy and so much respect for him too as he went behind the plate for the final time where it all began for him
How Rare and crazy is it to see a guy born and raised in the twin cities of Minnesota and go to high school here and play his whole career in the same state he grew up in and did it with class never got in trouble with the law or any drugs always a class act guy we will miss you Mauer hope you can come back to the twins as a coach or manager one day crazy to think it's been over 2 years already since you retired sorry we couldn't win you a world series title
He's the greatest catcher of all time
What about Johnny Bench?
Whether he decides to continue playing or ride off into the sun, Mauer has done the Twins proud.
Coming from a Dodgers fan, I really am gonna miss Mauer. I hope he has a great retirement.
Salute to a class act...from a Yankee fan (*tips the cap*) 👏🏼⚾️
Two years later, and I still cry. Thanks for all the memories, Joe!
l will miss you Joe mauer for ever Minnesota Twins number 7
Joe may not have been the heaviest hitter or the biggest producer, but I'll be damned if he wasn't a leader. Couldn't have asked for a classier guy to represent this organization. Forever and always, a Minnesota Twin. Thank you Joe.
I just wish we were better then to have a more full stadium to send him off. Thanks joe, Minnesota hero.
Thank you so much Joe Mauer!! My favorite baseball player of all time.
Please come back for one more year, ur still way better than the average player. Either way, congratulations and best wishes!!!
Always a place in my heart for Joe. You'll be missed
Next year has been going a lot better
One of the last "lunch pail" guys. Didnt have to have the best numbers, he was an anchor and always a solid player. Dodger fan here, you were one of the best Joe.
When he came out in the catchers gear I lost it. He was so damn good for a stretch of years there. Hats off to Joe!
Congrats to one of the good guys!
Truly amazing. We love you here Joe
As a lifelong Twins fan this really hurts. Love you Joe. Thanks for the memories. ❤️👏🏾
See you in the hall of fame Joe. Class act
Joe mauer has brought me more happiness than any other man ever has
HOF 2024 .....what a career 👏 🙌
In my lifetime it's Kirby Puckett & Joe Mauer. That's it. Those 2.
Class Act... unfortunate never got to experience postseason success.....HOF beckons....
Thank you
we all cried that day
always have been a fan of joe mauer
Thank you Joe
I want to hug Joe!!!
Can’t believe this dude and his glorious sideburns are almost at the end of his career already.
Joe Mauer ripped us White Sox apart but I still love em!!!
Dodgers fan, but if EVER had to pick a catcher for my dream team, Joe Mauer would be my choice. Loved the guy.
Joe the 🐐 Mauer Coming from a Mets fan
Wow, congratulations to Joe Mauer!
I'm a White Sox fan, but I gotta tip my hat to ya Joe. What a class act. A true professional.
